(n00b question) How does one activate the scrollbar in an xterm?

[Soong, SylokeJ]

I have not done this with cygwin-x before,
but I do it with my sun solaris.

Create .Xdefaults at home directory if does not already exists.
google or man xterm should tell you more.
Enter/append lines similar to these:

xterm*scrollBar: true
xterm*saveLines: 4000
xterm*cursorColor: Red
xterm*pointerColor: Blue
xterm*borderColor: Red

Hi all.  I'm a *nix newbie.  In M$ Windows, I can edit the properties of 
a console window and thus create a scrollback history.

However, the xterms in Cygwin have no scrollbar.  How does one activate 
the scrollbar and adjust the length of scrollback history?
